Fossil fuel for reciprocating piston engines equipped with spark plugs
Almost a Speedy Delete for being patent nonsense. As far as I can tell, this is a made up term and the page appears to have been created as part of an edit war, by an editor who wants to move gasoline to petrol. Solipsist 15:11, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete It's not nonsense. It's just not terribly accurate. No one that I have have ever heard uses this term, and Google gives it zero hits. -Harmil 15:21, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, neologism. Dcarrano 15:26, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - this was disruption to make a point as part of the Gasoline/Petrol naming dispute. - Omegatron 15:46, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. During the Gasoline/Petrol wars, the article was moved repeatedly, to increasingly silly names. When the war was added to WP:LAME, it included a redlink to Fossil fuel for reciprocating piston engines equipped with spark plugs.  Just for the heck of it, I created that title as a redirect to the title of the article at the time (I think it was Gasoline (Petrol) or somesuch).  When the edit war was ended, that redirect was deleted along with all the others left over from the move wars, leaving a redlink from WP:LAME.  User:Ezra Wax then re-created the article as a stub. --Carnildo 17:56, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Gasoline. I mean Petrol.  Oh never mind.  :) Looks like somebody already got rid of that redlink (well done) so delete this nonsense. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:19, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, restore and delete again, purely for good measure. I'm only kidding, of course, but this one really should have been speedily deleted.  It is patent nonsense.  &mdash;Lifeisunfair 01:34, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy. I've got to admit the horrible truth: I suggested the use of this phrase on WP:LAME. Obviously, I never intended its actual creation. Perhaps BJAODN, definitely delete. Nickptar 23:19, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
